Trump removes independent watchdog for coronavirus funds, upending oversight panel

The move comes as Trump makes a broad push against inspectors general scrutinizing his actions.


Corronavirus funds Inspector General Glenn Fine - removed by the corrupt Trump.


Trump doesn't want anyone looking over his corrupt shoulder as he decides who receives funds from the $2 trillion coronavirus Stimulus Bill. He'll certainly take care of his 2016 presidential/inauguration and 2020 campaign donors first.

EPA IG Sean O’Donnell, who replaces Mr. Fine, has yet to recommend that anyone at the EPA be criminally charged despite the rampant corruption under Scott Pruitt, Trumps original EPA Administrator.

PS. Trump is also blasting Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm for her eye-opening report on hospital shortages of protective equipment for doctors and nurses.

Trump has immunity from everything, including the virus. Proof that he is not human...he's an alien in disguise.

There is no other explanation for how he gets away with all the questionable things he does.
 

It's to be expected. The HHS IG will be next. I'm sure he wants to fire Dr Fauci as well but can't get away with it right now.
 
TARP II, here we go. We all knew the Republicans were trying to shove down some huge cash giveaway to major corporations in this mess. So this is quite unsurprising.

Actually TARP money were loans. And were all paid back. Plus interest.

TARP recovered funds totaling $441.7 billion from $426.4 billion invested, earning a $15.3 billion profit or an annualized rate of return of 0.6% and perhaps a loss when adjusted for inflation.*

Let the looting begin!
 
Trump's legacy....He removed the truth.
 
Trump cited that the reason he fired the IG was that Congress had no right to appoint him and that i violated the separation of powers articles....
 

The enemies of the current GOP are oversight and truth.
 
I'm not sure we'll ever see this much corruption from the White House ever again.
